  • I love the little story in this song. Very thought-provoking.

  • I love this song <3

  • @Krauto83 No problem, my pleasure.

  • @TheRiddlingSeahorse Thank you :) i thought it was a figure of speech, or something like that. English is not my first language, so i was a bit confused. Your answer has been useful, though, thanks again!

  • @Krauto83 Just speculating, but to me it creates the idea of a hit (the effect of some drug) being clung onto to stop the writer falling into some unwanted reality (the 'pit' he refers to in the previous line). But that's such a cliche interpretation by me. Will Sheff would probably read what I just wrote and be like 'why does everyone always look for a sad, desperate meaning to my songs?' Sorry Will.

  • I'm sorry, what does "Hanging from a hit" mean exactly? I can't figure it out..

  • Beautiful song. Possibly my favorite from I Am Very Far.

  • easily the best song from the new album ^^

  • OH MAN! I LOVE THIS SONG.

  • Beautiful Tune
